4+1PORT USB 2.0 Pci Desktop Card -via Chip Set Review

I was attracted to this card because of its price (a real bargain). But, after reading a negative review on Amazon (the only one available at the time of this writing) I was also very skeptical of this cards ability to perform (or even actually WORK). I had very little to lose and a lot to gain... so I placed my order!

It arrived in a small box with a mini-CD containing drivers for versions of windows prior to "XP". I have no idea how (or if) this device will function with "Vista", but I'm assuming that it should work since it's just a basic USB controller. Since I'm running "XP" no drivers from the CD were required. I turned my system off, installed the board into an open PCI slot, and then turned the power back on. Windows XP quickly identified the board and automatically installed all of the correct drivers.

I proceeded to test my new high-speed USB "2.0" ports with an external CD recorder, a few USB 2.0 card readers, a digital camera, a printer, and a scanner. Everything worked "flawlessly"!

I honestly don't know why the previous reviewer had problems with this USB card, but It certainly was an incredible bargain for me! I quickly ordered another card for my 2nd system (and may order another one for a friends system).

Because some computers are very picky, I can't promise that it'll work the same way for you. I can only say that it worked flawlessly for me! I was able to pick this item up (NEW) for less than ten dollars (including shipping) here on Amazon. Truly an amazing bargain!
